Day 222 - $10,283
So you may have noticed... or maybe you didn't. But if you want a GOM T-Shirt, I just added a link. You should get one, and then when all your friends ask about it, you can tell them how your trying to raise one million dollars in one year for St. Jude. They will all think you're totally awesome, and want a T-shirt just like you. Then you can send them to this blog :)
Help me reach one million in one year. Donate now!
Day 97 - $4,727
I received a letter from St. Jude. If you donated, you may have received the same letter... But for those of you that haven't donated yet I'll share a little bit:
In early 2006, Evans' parents were shocked to learn that their sweet 2-year-old son was suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), a dangerous form of childhood cancer. The family's pediatrician referred Evan to St. Jude form treatment right away.
At St. Jude, Evans' parents quickly learned that we were serious about beating his Cancer. His mom remembers, "As soon as Evans' doctor walked in the room and told us that Evans had ALL, I said, 'Can you treat him?' and his doctor said, 'No, we're going to cure him.' I can't tell you how it feels, as a parent of a child battling cancer, to hear those words. It is amazing."
Our doctors placed the little boy on a protocol of chemotherapy, and I have to tell you, the treatment hasn't always been easy. "The nurses told us that treating ALL is like a marathon, it's not a sprint." Evans mom says. "They said don't exhaust yourself at the beginning because it's a long process."
Today Evans is one step closer to making his doctor's promise come true -- because his cancer is in remission, and Evans is looking forward to spending this Father's Day with his dad.
This would never have been possible without the driving force behind our mission -- the generosity of good people like you. We depend on generous friends to make our lifesaving care possible, and I hope that you will keep St. Jude in your heart so that we can tell the next parents who come to us that their child's life is not over... not only are we going to treat that child -- we're going to cure them. God bless your good heart.
Pretty cool don't you think? Our goal is for a good cause people! Don't forget that! So far we've given away two shirts. I was hoping it would be more than that... But I'm thankful for the two people that did donate. Remember: If you donate $25 or more from now until July 4th I will mail you a Give One Million T-shirt. Join me in the fight against childhood cancer and donate now!
At church on Sunday our Sunday school teacher gave out some Dove chocolates. And this is what the wrapper said on the one I ate... "Jump at the chance to give!"
Well... I'm jumpin' as high as I can!

Day 94 - $4,677
OK everyone... Here's the deal. Anyone that donates $25 or more from now until July 4th will get a Give One Million T-shirt! That's right, I will mail it right to your front door. And if you hurry, I can probably get it to you by the 4th - so you can sport it at your family/neighborhood 4th of July get together! Just think how cool everyone will think you are...
So month three is now just a memory. It was a good month though. Garage Sales, Sonic Fundraiser, a couple of articles written about GOM. We are right on track to reaching our goal. In case you missed it before... if we double our donations every month we will reach our goal. In month one we raised $600. Month two was $1,206. And for month three our goal was $2,400 - and we shattered that goal! Month three brought in $2,871!!! We beat our monthly goal by $471! Great job everyone.
Now... our goal for month four is: $4,800. We can do this! I'll need everyone's help though. If you haven't donated yet, PLEASE donate. Once you've done that PLEASE invite all your friends to donate, check out this blog and follow it, and also become a fan of the Give One Million Facebook page. Do you work somewhere that can help? Can you talk to your manager/boss to see if your company can donate or support Give One Million for St. Jude in some way? I'm hitting up all the businesses I can here in the KC area... But I'm finding, that working a full-time job sort of gets in the way :) I can only make it to a few businesses a week. I try to stop on my way home if I get off at a half way decent time - or sometimes I make some visits during my lunch break. (When I can get away on a lunch break...) So what I'm saying is: I can use all the help I can get.
I have some events coming up in the next couple months! I'll be filling you in on all the details soon - so stay tuned.
Talk Soon,
David

Day 82 - $3,862
We had another Give One Million Garage Sale. This time some good friends teamed up with my mom and sis to raise the money and help fight cancer. Thank You! I know you're thinking it... and yes those are the official Give One Million T-shirts. They look pretty sweet don't they. I will be letting you know what the plan is with those later this week, so stay tuned!
I mentioned last post that I was on a business trip last week. On my way home the plane in Las Vegas was running a little late, and I was "lucky" enough to miss my connection in Denver. Well, since I had to spend an extra 5 hours sitting around in the Denver airport waiting for my flight back to KC - the airline was nice enough to give me a little compensation for my time.
I hold in my hand a $150 travel voucher that can be applied toward the purchase of any United Airlines ticket. It is fully transferable.
So here's the deal...
Are you planning a trip any time soon? Do you need to fly anywhere in the next year? Well - if you donate $100 (OBO) to Give One Million for St. Jude, I will give you the United Airlines Travel Voucher. If you're interested, email me with an offer.
Keep up the Facebook invites. Since I posted about trying to get 1,000,000 fans for the Give One Million page we increased our fans by 4. I was hoping for a little better response. Can someone please help me out with that ?!?!. All it takes is one invite to your friend list. Come on... It's for a good cause :)

Today, I was on the phone with St. Jude, and they put me on hold for a minute while they were getting some answers to questions. Well - when you're on hold they have patients and parents of patients telling how St. Jude has/is helping them in their fight against pediatric cancer. I'm telling you people... what we are doing here is very appreciated. When you donate to St. Jude you are literally helping a child survive cancer - and they are very grateful! (wouldn't you be if your child had cancer, and someone offered to help you???)
I think everyone that's reading this maybe forgets where exactly this money is going - because I'm not posting pictures and stories of the patients at St. Jude every day to remind you... but let me tell you this: If you just take a few minutes and look at where your Give One Million donations are going - you will realize there is nothing better you could do with your money. Help me help them! Donate today!!!
Talk Soon,

Day 69 - $1,901
Well... I knew this was going to be a roller coaster! Today was a great day for Give One Million! (So far most days have been great days!)
A couple big Thank You's are needed...
First, a big thanks to my Auntie Dee Dee and Uncle Vince for their support on the Give One Million T-shirts. They've been helping out a ton with them, and they will be available shortly. So if you need any screen printing or that sort of thing done - they are definitely the ones to go to! I added them to the sponsor list below for all the time, effort, and money they are putting into helping Give One Million. Check em out!
Second, another big thanks to Dr. Sean Rogan at Midwest Chiropractic and Sports Medicine! Because of his generous donation - we will soon have a Give One Million banner printed up. This will be great for all the events coming up throughout the year, and definitely help us get some attention/donations. You'll see pics of the banner when we have our Sonic Drive-In fundraiser on June 19th. I also added Midwest Chiropractic to the sponsor section - if you live in the KC area you should definitely check them out.
Third, I need to give a big shout out to my friend Lynzie and everyone at the Paul Mitchell School in Rexburg, ID. They are planning a Give One Million for St. Jude fundraiser for sometime in July. I'll keep you posted on the details. Thanks Lynzie!
Fourth, Thank you for the online donations today! We are almost to $2,000 folks. Not too shabby...
And last, but not least...
LDSLiving Magazine called me a week or so ago to do an interview about Give One Million - and they published an article on their website today!!! CLICK HERE to read it!
There is a lot going on... and it's only going to go up from here! Like always - If you're new here, please add this to the list of blogs you follow. Follow Give One Million for St. Jude on Facebook and Twitter. Add a button to your blog. Watch the video I made for Ellen DeGeneres. And last - don't wait!!! Donate today, and tell your friends and family to do the same. So far, we've made a $1,901 difference in the fight against cancer. With your help (yep, you reading this right now!) we can make a million dollar difference in the fight against cancer!
Talk Soon,
David
P.S. Feel free to email me or leave a comment if you want to help us reach a million dollars in one year by organizing an event in your area. I need all the help I can get :)

Day 66 - $1,831
I spent today working on flyers, T-shirts, and spreading the word about Give One Million for St. Jude. Office Depot here in Blue Springs is awesome! There are going to help me print as many fyers as needed for free! That will be a great way to get the word out. Let me know if you need flyers. I can either send you some, or send you a template to print your own.

T-shirts are coming along great as well. My Aunt has been really helping out in that department - and we should have some T-shirts for everyone to buy soon (proceeds going to Give One Million for St. Jude)! Here is a preview of what I think they will end up looking like - The first batch anyway...
OK folks...
It's already been over two months. It's going great - but we have so far to go! We need to spread the word! Can you help me by sending emails to your friends and family? Can you send an email to your local newspaper, radio station, or TV station? Can you invite your friends on Facebook to follow Give One Million? Can you hand out some flyers on a Saturday? Can you add a button to your blog? Please help me spread the word any way you can. But the most important thing you can do to help us reach one million in one year for St. Jude is to....
DONATE!!!
It can be big or small (the amount really doesn't matter!!!) I think you can give up 5 bucks. You're just going to waste it on something like going out to eat anyway... Why not just eat at home one day and donate the money to a good cause???
Day 15 - $200
My prayer was answered!!! SWEEEEET!!!!!! I don't think you all understand how happy I was when my wife called me at work to tell me we received another donation today. You know who you are. Thank you!
So we're up to $200. That's 100 bucks a week average so far. Not too bad, if I do say so myself. If we keep it up we would end up with $5,200 raised. That alone would be a victory - but I think we'll get more than that (like One Million!!!). I think as the word spreads, it will grow exponentially. This is just the beginning.
As I'm looking for locations for the pancake breakfast I called a local high school today. I was told In addition to the approximately 500 or so dollars I would need to rent the space - that I would also need proof of a one million dollar insurance policy. Did you hear that?!?! One Million Dollar Insurance Policy! I just thought you might find that as "interesting" as I did. It's just another bump in the road though. No biggie. We'll find a place.
I think T-Shirts are in the works. I'm very excited about that. Just think how cool you'll look in your brand new Give One Million T-Shirt. All your friends will be jealous. No worries though. You can just tell them where you got it, and they can have one of their own. 100% of the proceeds will go to St. Jude :)
